You might be able to do this successfully if you can offload as much of the work to the videocore as possible, but if you do any kind of expensive operations on the image data that you do on the CPU, you probably won't get the greatest framerates anyhow[16:54]<prjkt> I'm pretty sure it's not powerful enough to work with the full color streams, nor is it necessary though[16:54]<Amadiro> so you'd definitely want to utilize hardware-side decoding of the stream and such, I reckon[16:54]<prjkt> No, Amadiro - absolutely no expensive operations on the CPU. By the time it gets to the CPU it is massively reduced, to just a few bytes of useful information about the 3d image.[16:54]<Amadiro> where's that reduction supposed to happen?[16:55]<prjkt> Amadiro, what do you think, would it be possible for me to build a specialized circuit board that take the cmos images in real-time (30-60 FPS) does the gpu-intensive operations and runs the 3d reconstruction algorithm, and then just sends the (very small) results over usb or serial to the pi?[16:55]<prjkt> or would I need a whole separate computer to do that?[16:55]<Amadiro> sure that's possible, the question is mainly how much work you want to put into it, how flexible you need it to be, etc[16:55]<prjkt> Amadiro, the reduction can happen anywhere I can code the stereoscopy algorithm... be that pi, gpu, or something specialized if this is feasable[16:56]<Amadiro> you can always slap a bunch of FPGAs on some board to do all the heavy lifting for you, but it's a lot of work[16:56]<prjkt> Amadiro, I'm surprised you say it's possible. How would I do it?[16:56]<prjkt> that's interesting.[16:56]<Amadiro> so I think it'd pay off to first try whether you can just do everything inside the pi, using hardware-decoding of the streams and then seeing whether you can do your algorithms for the reconstruction on the CPU[16:56]* dumbsdirt (~dumbsdirt@cpe-076-182-043-163.nc.res.rr.com) has left #raspberrypi[16:57]<Amadiro> and whether the resulting framerate and resolution you can run this with work for you[16:57]<prjkt> Also, do you think there are any USB cameras that happen to have chipsets that I can try to re-flash (maybe open source), meaning that they already do some kind of processing on-board, and I can just rewrite the software to do my processing instead and send that as data? Or is this a pipe dream?[16:57]<prjkt> I agree, Amadiro.[16:57]<prjkt> Where you say, "Hardware-decoding of the streams" how can I make sure that this is hardware? (Happens on the gpu)?[16:57]<Amadiro> once you start pulling in an external custom PCB with huge chips on it (possibly even FPGAs) we're definitely talking about very high costs and lots of development time[16:58]<prjkt> I really only know how to program in c, c++, etc. don't know any special gpu libraries.[16:58]<rubiconjosh> prjkt, What you are talking about is possible, but if you are not sure how you would even start it, then it is most likely too complex of a task for you. You would need an extreme understanding of the algorithms you want to implement and if you go the FPGA route you would need to really know HDL, not just sort of know it.[16:58]<prjkt> Amadiro, how much do these fpga's cost?[16:58]<Amadiro> prjkt, I don't know much about *de*coding video on the pi, but supposedly the videocore can do it and has interfaces for high-definition cameras and such[16:59]* AeroNotix (~xeno@abos254.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl) has joined #raspberrypi[16:59]<rubiconjosh> You can price out FPGAs, they are not too expensive, the development boards that let you write them are expensive[16:59]<Amadiro> prjkt, the question is not really how much fpgas cost, the question is how many years of time you have to spare to learn how to use them[16:59]* axion (~axion@cpe-67-242-88-224.nycap.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: WeeChat 0.4.0-dev)[16:59]<Amadiro> or how much money you have to employ someone who already knows how to use them[17:00]<prjkt> rubiconjosh, this is very useful feedback.

What you are talking about it implementing more complex math than this with logic gates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function[17:01]<prjkt> Amadiro - how can I use a "codec chip" with the pi?? Isn't this what we've been talking about with the fpga?[17:02]<prjkt> No, I don't "fully" understanding Guassian functions.[17:02]<Amadiro> prjkt, it depends on a lot of factors, presumably the codec chip will have some way to interface with the camera, and then throw out some-format-or-other (you need to choose the appropriate format here that is useful for you) then that codec chip outputs the data to you via LVDI or so[17:02]<prjkt> I see.[17:02]* dcorona_irc_2020 (~Adium@unaffiliated/dcorona-irc-2020/x-1034130) has left #raspberrypi[17:02]* dcorona_irc_2020 (~Adium@unaffiliated/dcorona-irc-2020/x-1034130) has joined #raspberrypi[17:02]<Amadiro> so then you have something like an FPGA that can interface with that, process the data in the way you want and then send the results out via some low-speed bus or usb[17:03]<Amadiro> but it really depends on what you want to do exactly, and the whole setup is fairly inflexible[17:03]<prjkt> Well, guys, I mean what I'm REALLY talking about is that my skills are such that if I have the last 200 frames from each of 2 cameras, then I can run other people's C libraries on them and get the data I need.[17:03]* dcorona_irc_2020 (~Adium@unaffiliated/dcorona-irc-2020/x-1034130) has left #raspberrypi[17:03]* dcorona_irc_2020 (~Adium@unaffiliated/dcorona-irc-2020/x-1034130) has joined #raspberrypi[17:03]<prjkt> So, how should we translate to doing that on the pi? Try to do it on-board after getting full FPS image data from both cameras?[17:03]<prjkt> Amadiro, the inflexibility doesn't bother me, really.[17:04]<rubiconjosh> I am learning to use opencv and process video, instead of doing the processing on the Pi I am going to use mjpg-streamer to send the webcam video over the network where my desktop with a CUDA enabled OpenCV build will do the processing and send commands back over the network to the Pi. If the Pi does not have the power to do the processing you want you may want to try something like this.[17:05]<prjkt> wow that sounds intense. I wouldn't have thought the PI Has that kind of bus bandwidth[17:05]<prjkt> I mean it's only at 700 megahertz.[17:05]<Amadiro> prjkt, ideally you'd get image data from the cameras (which is likely in some codec that you cannot use directly), use an openmax il client or so to get the videocore to decode it into something that you can use (if it can do that) and then try to do the processing on that on the CPU[17:05]<prjkt> rubiconjosh, have you tried to see if the usb-to-network translation can be done fast enough by the pi?[17:06]<prjkt> I don't know if it has "DMA" type operations to copy usb directly to the nic without processing each and every single bit through the slow cpu[17:06]<Amadiro> it does not[17:06]<prjkt> on rubiconjosh's goal, Amadiro, don't you think that it might have higher io requirements than he can get?[17:06]<Amadiro> even worse, everything has to go through userland and back[17:07]<prjkt> wow[17:07]<rubiconjosh> prjkt, I plan on using a webcam that outputs mjpg, then all the Pi is really doing is sending a bunch of jpegs over the network from a small webserver. I do not have the camera yet, but I did compile mjpg-streamer on the Pi and did some tests, a 640x480 test stream uses less than 1% cpu and less than 1% of memory. So it should work out no problem, the goal is to do all the heavy processing on my desktop[17:07]<prjkt> Amadiro, well, he could probably put something in the kernel to do it. people have put web servers in there..[17:07]* dcorona_irc_2020 (~Adium@unaffiliated/dcorona-irc-2020/x-1034130) Quit (Quit: Leaving.)[17:07]<Amadiro> prjkt, dunno, I get like 6MiB/s from usb to ethernet[17:07]<Amadiro> which is certainly enough for HD streaming[17:07]<prjkt> what kind of framerate did you get on the 640x480 test stream - and was it a real streaming data from somewhere? (an actual videostream)?[17:08]<prjkt> Amadiro, so you are saying that userland gets to see every one of the bits in 6 MiB from usb to ethernet?[17:08]<Amadiro> prjkt, correct[17:08]<prjkt> that's reassuring, actually.[17:08]<Amadiro> pulling them out using an FTP server[17:08]<rubiconjosh> prjkt, it was a series of three test images at 20 fps, I have seen some data from someone doing the exact same thing from a webcam that got 30fps still using less than 1% cpu and ram[17:09]* Mikelevel (~MoVeWoRk@60.Red-80-25-210.staticIP.rima-tde.net) Quit (Quit: Mikelevel)[17:09]<prjkt> rubiconjosh but if the stream is compressed are you sure that it's actually a full-sized steram?

I would try a more complicated video with less repetition :).
